Interesting. With JavaScript disabled, FF and Opera show the main image but not the thumbnails. With JavaScript enabled, FF and Opera show only the thumbnails. Chrome and Safari show both the thumbnails and the main image.

thank you for your reply.would any of these errors be causing it not to work? I am so utterly confused about why it isn't working. http://www.djcarchitect.com/portfolio/page...onalimages.htmlThis is the page itself. the problem is with this part of the page, that's clearly where it lies, but i can't figure out what it is. when it's being plopped into the frame on the main page, it already has the problem. i will add a doctype, but that won't change this other page, will it ?

One way to narrow down a problem like this is to start with the version that works, and change it to the version that doesn't work one change at a time. Check whether it still works after each change. When it no longer works, that will show you one of the key changes that breaks it.

BTW, you don't specify a background color for the page.

Style sheets should contain just the CSS. Your a_tag_effects.css includes a log of extraneous markup that should be removed.

Some of your style sheet paths are broken. This one refers to a file on your local filesystem, which will not be available to anyone else:
